The formation and assembly of a typical star-forming galaxy at z~3 (2008)
Stark, Daniel P., Swinbank, Mark, Ellis, Richard S., Dye, Simon, Smail, Ian R., Richard, Johan
Recent studies of galaxies ~2-3 Gyr after the Big Bang have revealed large, turbulent rotating systems. The existence of well-ordered rotation in galaxies during this peak epoch of cosmic star...
Star formation histories from multi-band photometry: A new approach (2008)
A new method of determining galaxy star-formation histories (SFHs) is presented. Using the method, the feasibility of recovering SFHs with multi-band photometry is investigated. The method divides a...
Models of the Cosmic Horseshoe Gravitational Lens (2008)
Dye, Simon, Evans, N. W., Belokurov, V., Warren, S. J., Hewett, P.
We model the extremely massive and luminous lens galaxy in the Cosmic Horseshoe Einstein ring system, recently discovered in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We use the semi-linear method of Warren &...
Dye, Simon, Eales, S. A., Aretxaga, I., Serjeant, S., Dunlop, J. S., Babbedge, T. S. R., ...
We present estimates of the photometric redshifts, stellar masses and star formation histories of sources in the SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES). This paper describes the 60 SCUBA...
Coppin, Kristen, Halpern, Mark, Scott, Douglas, Borys, Colin, Dunlop, James, Dunne, Loretta, ...
A follow-up survey using the Submillimetre High-Angular Resolution Camera (SHARC-II) at 350 microns has been carried out to map the regions around several 850 micron-selected sources from the...
Constraints on dark and visible mass in galaxies from strong gravitational lensing (2007)
We give a non-exhaustive review of the use of strong gravitational lensing in placing constraints on the quantity of dark and visible mass in galaxies. We discuss development of the methodology and...
Separation of the visible and dark matter in the Einstein ring LBG J213512.73-010143 (2007)
Dye, Simon, Smail, Ian, Swinbank, A. M., Ebeling, H., Edge, A. C.
We model the mass distribution in the recently discovered Einstein ring LBG J213512.73-010143 (the `Cosmic Eye') using archival Hubble Space Telescope imaging. We reconstruct the mass density profile...
The SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) - IV: Radio-mm-FIR photometric redshifts (2007)
Aretxaga, Itziar, Hughes, David H., Coppin, Kristen, Mortier, Angela M. J., Wagg, Jeff, Dunlop, James S., ...
We present the redshift distribution of the SHADES galaxy population based on the rest-frame radio-mm-FIR colours of 120 robustly detected 850um sources in the Lockman Hole East (LH) and Subaru...
The stellar masses of 25000 galaxies at 0.2 (2006)
Borch, Andrea, Meisenheimer, Klaus, Bell, Eric F., Rix, Hans-Walter, Wolf, Christian, Dye, Simon, ...
We present an analysis of stellar mass estimates for a sample of 25000 galaxies from the COMBO-17 survey over the interval 0.2 10^{11} solar masses at all z
We measure the mass density profile of the lens galaxy in the Einstein ring system 0047-2808 using our semi-linear inversion method developed in an earlier paper. By introducing an adaptively gridded...
Bell, Eric F., Wolf, Christian, Meisenheimer, Klaus, Rix, Hans-Walter, Borch, Andrea, Dye, Simon, ...
We present the rest-frame colors and luminosities of ~25,000 mRlt;~24 galaxies in the redshift range 0.2lt;zlt;=1.1 drawn from 0.78 deg2 of the COMBO-17 survey (Classifying Objects by...
Decomposition of the Visible and Dark Matter Mass Profiles in the Einstein Ring 0047-2808 (2003)
Using our semi-linear inversion method, we measure the mass profile of the lens galaxy in the Einstein ring system 0047-2808. The lens is modelled as a baryonic component following the observed...
SWIRE: The SIRTF Wide-Area Infrared Extragalactic Survey (2003)
Lonsdale, Carol J., Smith, Harding E., Rowan-Robinson, Michael, Surace, Jason, Shupe, David, Xu, Cong, ...
The SIRTF Wide-Area Infrared Extragalactic Survey (SWIRE), the largest SIRTF Legacy program, is a wide-area imaging survey to trace the evolution of dusty, star-forming galaxies, evolved stellar...
Bell, Eric F., Wolf, Chris, Meisenheimer, Klaus, Rix, Hans-Walter, Borch, Andrea, Dye, Simon, ...

Semi-linear gravitational lens inversion (2003)
We describe a new method for analyzing gravitational lens images, for the case where the source light distribution is pixelized. The method is suitable for high resolution, high S/N data of a...
